NVIDIA has just released video of NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang's live keynote address from the GeForce LAN Shanghai this past weekend.

This video includes the introduction of the GeForce GTX 690 dual GPU and our new GeForce Experience. For those that were viewing the Web cast live on Saturday night, you may not have seen the actual presentation on GeForce Experience, so we’ve added them into this version of the video.

The video file (mp4) is over 1GB in size. I'll be on the lookout for sites that will be hosting the video and post links here.

The following notes are from NVIDIA's conference call with Tom Peterson and Bryan Del Rizzo, which took place yesterday. The notes are based on the audio portion of a presentation for the GeForce GTX 690.

First and foremost, we congratulated NVIDIA on the GeForce GTX 690 - the "Rolls Royce" of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).

Benchmarks will begin to appear at your favorite web sites very, very soon.

Performance is expected to be "extremely close" to that of the GeForce GTX 680 in 2-way SLI.

Absolutely the best GPU that NVIDIA has delivered.

Records were shattered for the time, effort and money that were invested in the GeForce GTX 690.

No plastic parts.

Never before used, albeit expensive, materials are part of the GeForce GTX 690 - glossy look, cast aluminum and magnesium.

Update: Tom Peterson commented on micro stutter during the conference call. Looking over my notes, I see two comments which go something like "the declining quality of those frame rates" and "more and more time not connected to the frame rate."
